Best things about owning an amiga?

[Borut]

What were the best things about owning an amiga, back when you got yours?

Whats the best things today?

Are you kidding? Amiga compared to green or black and white screens which needed text input and every peace of s... HW has to be mounted and had ID-conflicts and was beeping around...

For me is the question why somebody back in the days could have wanted an PC or even a Mac which back in time all together were crap. Which led to the conclusion that a big part of the population on earth is insane.

Commodore stopped promoting the A1000 for a year due to the 500 and 2000 cockup remember

Are you sure? In my country C= didn´t promote nearly nothing. It was mouth to mouth propaganda based on the fact what our eyes saw and ears heard.
When I remember the times a look for computers in the big warehouses here around (Quelle - now bankrupt and they deserved it...) they sold Amigas only showing the screen with the hand that holds the disk and that only sometimes - I think they feared showing of Amigas in their full glory because it would have resulted in the fact they wouldn´t have sold no single PC. In that time around 1989 I saw now Mac´s there and also can not remember a single Atari in the shops. I am not talking of the small specialised shops, you know.

Really the Commodore salespeople and management deserve a very big EPIC FAIL cup for impotent at marketing and also some other areas.
